"I want to glorify God with my life"

Consider this statement: I want to glorify God with my life.

It is Biblical in that our lives are to glorify God. However, when I say this statement am I focusing on the I and the my? Am I more concerned on what I'm doing than on the One receiving the glory? When we give a gift to someone we enjoy being with, our minds and hearts are on the person... not on ourselves. But I think when I think about my life and my plans... even though I know God is to be glorified... my focus is way to often how I make my steps rather than trusting in the Lord and fixing my eyes upon Him... (and His glory... not my own whether it's religious or not...) being more concerned about Him and how my life is is not my own. Does that make sense?

I can do the same stuff whether the statement is on myself or the Lord... but it's the heart that counts. Plus we know that life is much easier in a sense when we fully and joyfully live for Him without being too concerned about if things go our way. We're just too stubborn to do it. 

(I'm inarticulate in expressing my thoughts. This may have been incomprehensive. sorry.)

yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.
1 Corinthians 8:6
